Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1267: Chapter 1266: Deciding Life and Death, Severing Yin and Yang

Lü Wenbang slowly stood up, his gaze vacantly sweeping the surroundings as if he were still half asleep.

Smiling Hidden Knife was utterly shaken, completely petrified by the situation; even his characteristic smile had vanished from his face.

As for Ge Kaiyang, his face bore an expression of pride, without a hint of surprise, as if all of this was completely natural.

”What... What exactly is happening?” Smiling Hidden Knife asked in astonishment, ”He... He was dead, wasn’t he? Is he... Is he not dead?”

As Smiling Hidden Knife uttered these words, he actually had an answer in his mind. When he had dug up Lü Wenbang, he had personally checked his body; Lü Wenbang was truly dead, thoroughly so.

But what was the situation now? Lü Wenbang had come back to life?

”Whether he’s dead or not depends on whether I let him die or not!” Ge Kaiyang said proudly: ”If I don’t let him die, he can’t die even if he wants to.”

”Ah?” Smiling Hidden Knife was even more shocked, ”What... What is going on here?”

Ge Kaiyang gave him a glance, ”Don’t forget, my grandfather’s nickname is the Jade-Faced Judge. What do you think the title ’judge’ implies?”

Judge, judge of life and death, decider of yin and yang.

Smiling Hidden Knife had never taken the nickname of the Jade-Faced Judge seriously before, always considering it just a title, nothing more.

Who would’ve thought there was a deeper meaning behind it?

The Jade-Faced Judge could actually revive the dead? What kind of heaven-defying power must that be!

At this moment, Smiling Hidden Knife couldn’t help feeling a bit panicked.

He had initially only been in a cooperative relationship with Ge Kaiyang, and in fact, he somewhat looked down upon Ge Kaiyang, thinking of him as nothing more than a useless individual living off his ancestor’s glory. Moreover, no matter how strong the Jade-Faced Judge was, what did it matter? Wasn’t he still pressured by Mahakasyapa to the point where he couldn’t kill, virtually becoming a toothless tiger? There were few in the world who still feared him.

The reason he cooperated with Ge Kaiyang was because he was very clear that he couldn’t kill Su Yang and Lü Donglin on his own strength. After suffering a big loss at their hands, he couldn’t swallow this grievance; he was determined to seek revenge, so he reluctantly cooperated with Ge Kaiyang.

But now, he suddenly realized that cooperating with Ge Kaiyang seemed to be a very wise choice.

This young master, often disregarded by many, actually possessed true skills. His strength might not be that formidable, but some of the Jade-Faced Judge’s secret techniques were enough to shock the world.

”Who would have thought, Young Master Ge, that you possess such a secret technique, truly breathtaking!” Smiling Hidden Knife unconsciously lowered his stance, smiling and saying, ”Young Master Ge, what shall we do next?”

Ge Kaiyang was even more pleased; this was the effect he wanted.

”Lü Wenbang is an expert, and, in the eyes of Su Yang and Lü Donglin, he’s already dead. We can keep him as a trump card,” Ge Kaiyang said leisurely, ”But, just the three of us are still no match for Su Yang’s power. Next, I need to find a few more people to help.”

”Find who?” Smiling Hidden Knife asked eagerly, ”Will you call someone from your family?”

”Nonsense!” Ge Kaiyang glared at him, ”How could that be possible? If my family’s people were to make a move, the major families in Capital City would immediately get wind of it. Don’t forget, our Ge Family is at odds with some families in Capital City. By then, never mind Su Yang, some families might come to hinder us first, and what could we accomplish then? Even if those people are no match for us, letting Su Yang know that my family’s people have come would be like startling the grass and scaring away the snake, wouldn’t it?”

”That also makes sense.” Smiling Hidden Knife nodded repeatedly, not taking offense at Ge Kaiyang’s rudeness. After witnessing Ge Kaiyang’s methods just now, he had much more respect for him.

”If we want to find help, we can only look within Capital City,” Ge Kaiyang said softly.

”Capital City?” Smiling Hidden Knife fell silent for a while before whispering, ”I estimate it’s not that easy to find people in Capital City. Lü Wenbang made so many preparations previously, yet only seventeen families agreed to help. These so-called major families of Capital City have all been cowed by Su Yang; they dare not oppose him anymore. And after tonight’s affair, I reckon those seventeen families will toe the line and won’t dare to oppose Su Yang either. Under such circumstances, seeking others to oppose Su Yang will not be easy!”

”These so-called major families in Capital City are just a bunch of wastes anyway. Cowed by an outsider, who could expect them to achieve anything significant?” Ge Kaiyang said with disdain.

”Then who can we turn to?” Smiling Hidden Knife asked curiously.

”The best option, of course, is to seek out Black Widow,” Ge Kaiyang said slowly.

”Black Widow!?” Smiling Hidden Knife’s expression shifted slightly. Although he was just an assassin, he had heard of Black Widow’s famed reputation.

”They say this woman is so beautiful that people dare not look directly at her...” Ge Kaiyang’s eyes gleamed, ”I, for one, would like to see for myself.”

Smiling Hidden Knife’s face showed a hint of panic, speaking in a low tone, ”This Black Widow isn’t too easy to talk to. Miss Su has killed so many of the Chen Family in Capital City, yet she hasn’t made a move, which shows she doesn’t intend to go against Su Yang. If you approach her, she may not... she may not help us...”

”I wouldn’t be so sure,” Ge Kaiyang shook his head and sneered, ”Don’t forget, no matter how capable she is, she is ultimately a woman. A woman is naturally meant to serve men.”

Hearing Ge Kaiyang’s rather frivolous words, Smiling Hidden Knife hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.

Black Widow, after all, was not an ordinary woman.

”Alright, take him away and hide him for now,” Ge Kaiyang said, handing a bottle to Smiling Hidden Knife, ”Give him one pill from this bottle every three hours. Remember, do not miss any dose!”

Smiling Hidden Knife took the bottle, opened his mouth as if to speak, but ultimately did not try to persuade Ge Kaiyang further, and turned to take Lü Wenbang away.

Lü Wenbang seemed to have not quite come to his senses yet, mindlessly following Smiling Hidden Knife when led away.

Watching the two men walk away, Ge Kaiyang’s gaze turned towards Capital City, unable to hide the fervor in his eyes, ”Black Widow, I want to see just how beautiful you really are!”

Ge Kaiyang burst out from the woods, descended the mountain, got into his car parked there, and drove straight to Capital City.

He had learned of Black Widow’s residence in the past few days, thus he didn’t take any detours, driving directly to the outside of Black Widow’s manor.

Looking from afar at the small building within that still had lights on, Ge Kaiyang’s fervor grew even stronger. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the restlessness in his heart. But the thought of Black Widow’s famous beauty made his emotions increasingly agitated.
